Nice little Motel
When we checked in Trevor gave the best introduction to the hotel and the town i have ever had. He explained where everything was what was good to see and gave us a map with sites highlighted. He and his wife Erica were on hand any time we needed anything. Location was great and the motel was very quite. Very friendly.

Hosts are a lovely, friendly couple. The property is easy to find & close to everything. Unfortunately there is a hotel nearby where they played music all Saturday night (5.45am & still going). The rest of our stay was peaceful though & with the tinkle of the stream next to us, sleep wasn't a problem. Love this place!
